Step by step guild to getting that out.
1. open wrapping
2. rip open plastic bin-liner
3. hit ice with hammer until completely broken
4. use a very sharp knife to cut off duct-tape and paper (You will need this for later so keep it on your person)
5. hit the pressure point of the metal (exactly in the center so it bends and pulls off some of the welding) or use an industrial blowtorch to take it off.
6. Acquire gift
7. murder whoever did that to you with the knife used earlier.

So it is a present of burnt paper and fabric? Considering it is filled with a plastic fiber hat and paper, when he sealed it by welding, he burnt everything inside. We used to boil water for coffee by placing the pot on metal we were fabricating, heat travels pretty dang far. The pot would boil after a few minutes even if it was 6 feet from the part we were working on.
